United States v. Belless, 338 F.3d 1063
(9th Cir. Aug. 11, 2003) (Wyoming battery conviction: domestic
relationship not a required element in order for Wyoming battery
conviction to serve as a predicate offense under the 18 U.S.C.
§ 921(a)(33)(A) firearm statutes definition of a crime of
domestic violence; however, as the battery statute encompasses
less violent behavior than the requisite use or attempted
use of physical force, the statute does not qualify as a predicate
offense for that purpose).

jurisdiction: 
Ninth Circuit
